Well, a reader of my blog named Haley commented on one of my posts asking me what kind of yarn I crochet with. I crochet with all different types of yarn! :) I have soooo many favourites! When I had time, I made a small list of my favourite yarn brands:

Lion Brand Vanna's Choice ( worsted weight yarn)

Lion Brand Cozy Wool ( Chunky yarn)

Patons Grace ( mercized cotton yarn)

Lily Sugar n' Creme (cotton yarn)

Loops and Threads Impeccable Solids (Worsted weight yarn)

Red Heart Soft Yarn ( Worsted Weight Yarn)

Red Heart Super Saver Solids. (Worsted weight yarn)

I like to crochet scarfs, hats, bags, and other useful items with Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn. I highly recommend that you do not use this yarn when making amigurumi because this yarn fuzzes easily.

With the Lion Brand Cozy Wool, I like to crochet only slouchy hats and scarfs with that yarn. I NEVER use chunky yarn to make amigurumi because chunky yarn is way too thick for my 2.00 mm crochet hook.

I love Patons Grace yarn! I use it to make amigurumi because it does not fuzz, and the yarn is very soft.

I also often use Lily Sugar n' Creme yarn when I run out of Patons Grace yarn. In general, I LOVE cotton yarn. This yarn is not as soft as Patons Grace yarn because it is not mercized cotton, but it is very strong and durable. I love this yarn so much. :)

I like to use Loops an Threads Impeccable Solids yarn. I only get this yarn in two shades, and those shades are lovely shade of hot light pink and a multicolored yarn. I love the color of the pink yarn more because it goes perfectly with a dark or light grey, and I highly recommend that you do not use this yarn when making amigurumi. It fuzzes a lot, and I only use this yarn when making Granny Squares or blankets.

I love to use Red Heart Soft Yarn when making hats and scarfs only because it is super soft. If you want to make a fuzzy amigurumi, this yarn is perfect for that project. I highly recommend that you do not use this yarn when making amigurumi unless you want your amigurumi to be nice and fuzzy.

I hope this post helped a lot! :) Have a wonderful day of Crocheting and Crafting!

I'm sure by now you all know that I love to craft and crochet. Well, a while ago, a friend of mine was moving away. So, I made her a card. I though that the card would make a great DIY tutorial for my blog!:) here is what my finished product looks like:

Materials

❤️construction paper

❤️marker

❤️yarn and crochet hook

❤️sticker that can easily be taken off

❤️glue gun

❤️scissors

~Step 1: with the construction paper, fold it in half and unfold it. Then fold one side of the paper into the center of the paper

~Step 2: fold the other half over the the other part of the paper that was folded in the first step.

~Step 3: attach a easily removable sticker in the center of the parting the the two parts of the folded paper.

~Step 4: Crochet a heart from littlebirdiesecrets.com and glue gun it ontop of the sticker.

~Step 5: Open the card and write a little sweet note.

~Step 6: close the card and enjoy!

And voila! You're all done. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and have a great day of crocheting and crafting! :)

On my blog, I posted an amigurumi cupcake pattern. On Ravelry, someone made three of them, and I thought that all of them were so super cute!!:) I loved all of them so I decided to post all of them on a Crochet Corner!

I love how this one has such a colorful frosting top!!:)

This one is my personal favourite, because the top is so fluffy and cute.

I thought this one looked super fun and had a tail of frosting coming out of its head!!:) looks like this cupcake is ready for a party. :)

Well, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you want to make your own cupcake, you can find it by typing in Amigurumi Cupcake Pattern in the search box. I hope you have a wonderful day of crocheting and crafting!:)
